The Blue Bird. The Little Prince

"Childhood is a vast realm from which everyone comes! Where am I from? I come from my childhood, as if from some country..." - these words of the famous French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry can be precisely related to the works presented in this edition. When, if not in childhood, can one believe in miracles and embark on a quest for happiness to unexplored lands and even distant planets? For Belgian writer M. Maeterlinck, happiness is personified by the blue bird, needed "to become happy in the future," while the Little Prince becomes happy when he discovers love and fidelity.
